So, yeah. I dunno what inspired it. Maybe I was flicking through Generation, or one of the manga on my shelf, but I suddenly thought "Let's draw a short manga!"

Now, I have actually had this particular idea in my head for a while, but I haven't acted on it until now. It's based on a piece of sidestory from a much longer written work of mine. It won't be very long; 15 pages max. But I'm excited to finally be putting my art where my words are. And if nothing else I'll hopefully learn a thing or two @w@. So far I only have the first two and the last two pages scripted, and the first two sketched. I want to finish as much as I can before Uni starts, but I definitely want to have it done for the Generation deadline.

So, we'll see how it goes~

Also, I bought Okami the other day. The graphics and art are so gorgeous. FFXII comes out tomorrow too, and Hotel Dusk. Something to occupy the time on the train, haha. I still haven't finished Phoenix Wright yet though. I'm such a bad game hoarder... Hopefully FFXII won't distract me too much when I go back to Uni on Monday.

I bought them both today~ And played some Hotel Dusk while waiting for the bus. I like the dialogue; the main character (Kyle) is such a snarky bastard, haha XD.

From what I've played so far it's a bit like Phoenix Wright, sans the courtroom scenes. So more about talking to characters, finding out things, etc. You can move around the areas in 3D and interact with points of interest. It's more like those old Day of the Tentable point and click adventure games. The art style is so gorgeous though TvT. I got sucked in by the art, but it's been getting good reviews too (Sits around 80%)

I've been playing FFXII since I got home~ And I got the hardcover guidebook... I'm such a sucker (After all the staff discounts it wasn't too expensive though). Now I'm trying to play three games at once xD. Ack.

Hehe, I went to JB today, and bought FFXII!! (it was on special, so...wasn't too bad) I also checked out Hotel dusk at the same time! (only had enough money for one game at the moment though) But as soon as I get some more cash, it's on my wanted list!! XD I love those detective games - brings back memories of this old game I used to play on our Apple Mac when I was a kid (back in the early 90's) aaah....
And, I'm already addicted to FFXII!! It's just so damn pretty!!

As for Okami - it rocks, but I need to get back into it and finish it. FFXII is a bit... ughhhh after spending time on the Jap version, I cannot be bothered playing the NTSC. Oh well. PS3~

Thanks~

SMASH is being planned for August-September, but it has no fixed date yet. So it looks like you could miss it TvT. But I guess we'll have to all see when it gets a final date~

YAY!
I really hope you manage to get this manga done, as I'd love to see what you produce. Your artwork rocks so much, I can only imagine how much awesomeness a manga from you would be.
Guess I'll have to hang out and wait till the next con' to see if you get it done.

Keep at it! =)

Thanks~ I hope I get it done too. I get sidetracked easily, so I really want to see this through to completion.

I'll be posting up the first page or two when I'm done inking them, though I'm gonna staving off inking until I have the whole thing sketched out.
